BERNINA L890

Product information "BERNINA L890"

BERNINA L 890 - First-class overlock and coverstitching

BERNINA-L890-Feature-One-Step-Lufteinfaedler

One-Step BERNINA Air Threader

  • Threading the machine with air
  • Automatically correct position of the hooks
  • Threading that is fun

With one step on the foot pedal, the threads are guided through the machine in no time at all by air. This leaves both hands free to guide the threads. The L 890 automatically brings the hooks into the correct position for the air threader - simply press the foot control and off you go!

BERNINA-L890-Feature-Touchscreen

Intuitive operation via touchscreen

  • Centrally positioned colour touch screen
  • Sewing advisor and stitch optimiser
  • Expert mode or guided mode

Whether stitch selection, individual stitch settings or personal memory - the touchscreen keeps all information available at all times and allows changes to be made while sewing. The L 890 offers a guided and expert mode. In both expert and guided mode, the thread tension, stitch length and differential feed are set automatically.

BERNINA-L890-Feature-Stichkontrolle

Perfect seams thanks to total stitch control

  • Memory for 100 personalised stitches
  • Sew & still change settings
  • Needle stop can be permanently set at the top or bottom depending on the application

Stitch length, differential feed, thread tension, cutting width or any other stitch parameter can also be set while sewing. With a simple turn of the mtc knob, you can fine-tune the amount of looping thread that encircles the fabric edge.

BERNINA-L890-Feature-Freihandystem

Functions you will love

  • Sew half stitches
  • BERNINA Free-Hand System (FHS) to raise and lower the presser foot
  • Easy access to the needles thanks to the swing-out presser foot

If you press the foot control with your heel, you can easily sew a half stitch. With the BERNINA Free-Hand System (FHS), you can raise or lower the presser foot with your knee, leaving both hands free to guide the fabric.

BERNINA-L890-Feature-Naehbereich

Generous sewing area

  • 143 mm space to the right of the needle
  • Push-on table included
  • Practical free arm

The space offered by the L 890 is great in the truest sense of the word. You get more space to the right of the needles and more clearance height than ever before with a BERNINA overlock/coverstitch combination machine. The practical free arm is an advantage when sewing closed textiles, as sleeves or cuffs can simply be slipped over it.

BERNINA-L890-Feature-Schnell-und-Pr-zise

Extremely fast, precise & quiet

  • Sew up to 1350 stitches per minute
  • Powerful, constant performance & precision
  • Uniquely smooth running

Not only fast sewing, but also slow stitch-by-stitch sewing is possible, which makes it much easier to create precise lines and curves. And all this with the extremely smooth running that BERNINA has always been known for.

BERNINA-L890-Feature-Stiche

The right seam for every idea

  • For a variety of fabrics & threads
  • Sew with either 2, 3, 4 or 5 threads
  • For overlock, chain & combo stitching

The L 890 sews with 2, 3, 4 or 5 threads and therefore offers the right seam for every application and every fabric, especially for highly elastic and knitted fabrics. As a combo machine, it offers three different functions: Overlock stitches, coverstitches and 4- and 5-thread combo stitches.

BERNINA-L890-Feature-Einfaedeln

Threading in a flash

  • Colour-coded threading paths
  • Easy change between the different stitches
  • Automatic needle stop at the top or bottom

Colour-coded, uniform threading paths allow you to switch from overlock to cover or combo stitch in no time at all. Helpful animations on the colour touch screen make it easier for you to operate and set up the machine.
